Opis

This volume on the ecology of Mauritanian coastal waters and in particular the Banc d'Arguin, explores the functioning of this remarkable coastal wetland. Major questions concern the interaction between the Banc d'Arguin ecosystem on the one hand, and the adjoining systems of the open ocean with its intensive upwelling phenomena and the Sahara desert on the other.
